Presented by Sixthman, the same outfit behind music adventures such as Sister Hazel’s “Rock Boat,” Kid Rock’s “Chillin’ The Most Cruise,” and the very, very popular “KISS Kruise,” Dunham’s sea-going laughathon sails out of Miami aboard the Norwegian Pearl Nov. 5, 2013, retuning Nov. 10.

The cruise marks Dunham’s very first experience curating an event. A literal comedy festival at sea, “Just Add Water” will feature two sets by Dunham along with an intimate Q&A and a variety of other entertainment, including music.

Of course, you also get all the perks cruises are known for, such as onboard casinos, pools, hot tubs, a climbing wall, bowling and 16 dining choices. As for the itinerary, the Norwegian Pearl will sail to Nassau as well as to private island Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas.

“Sixthman is thrilled to be partnering with Jeff on creating the first totally immersive comedy festival at sea,” Sixthman business development director April Gardner said. “Working with Jeff and his team on the “Just Add Water” name and imagery has been a hilarious experience so far, and we know it has only begun.

“The creativity, talent and enthusiasm Jeff masters in his comedy is inspiring, and we know that he (and all his characters) will put on what is sure to be the most unique and engaging comedy festival out there.”
